Welcome to Wavemakers!
It was a pleasure connecting with you in Ottawa at CEWIL’s Pathways to Partnerships Conference!
Post-secondary institutions are navigating big questions right now.
How to enhance student experiences and prepare them for the workplace of tomorrow while budgets are shrinking seems particularly top of mind.
Your school teaches knowledge. You connect students with employers who care about real learning. You are already doing an excellent job teaching students the WHAT of work.
Wavemakers teaches students the HOW.
Students have classroom knowledge but lack workplace know-how. Taking feedback. Problem-solving under pressure. Knowing when to ask for help. It’s harder for students. It’s frustrating for employers.
That’s where we come in.
Open enrolment, co-curricular and curriculum-integrated, we can bring more of these innovative and accessible opportunities to our shared networks. Let’s partner!
Wavemakers is free, fully accessible and flexible. Available to all Canadian post-secondary students.
